 To
witness the vassals Mandelli, in Maccagno Inferiore (Lower Maccagno) it was
found the so called "imperial tower" and a fort.
The tower was built in the Low Middle Ages and it was used on one hand as a
signal for people trespassing the territory, on the other one it was a defense
tower of the city, by checking the road leading to the lake. This tower is
situated on a hill, under which there is Rome's square and where you can find
the Zecca building (1622). The Imperial Tower was gradually transformed during
years: the structure is lower than it was in the past and the battlement was
constructed afterwards.
Maccagno Inferiore has a medieval urban plant in which little streets and
steps covered by big vaults connect to parallel roads, situated on different
heights.
